DEMS GONE WILD!!!!!!!!!!!
By RT | August 19, 2010
Given the appearance of things, the dems are going buck-wild this week!
In secret footage obtained by the right-wing conspiracy, there is proof that the dems are fleeing Obama like rabid flight attendants.
And if that isn’t bad enough, there are dems going on hunger strikes to get a debate! What? Do they think they are imprisoned IRA members? (Yeah, I’m old enough to remember that stuff.)
Democrat Ray Lutz and libertarian Mike Benoit, who are running against Duncan Hunter to be a representative for California, have gone on a hunger strike to get Hunter to debate them.
While Hunter agreed to debate them in October, Lutz and Benoit went on the hunger strike August 12 to get Hunter to square off with them beginning August 25.
So how is it going so far?
“The hunger has almost disappeared except when there’s food around and TV ads and stuff. The Hometown Buffet commercial is one of the worst. They are an all-you-can-eat buffet,” said Mike Benoit, the libertarian candidate in the three-way race.
Despite the tempting lure of everyday encounters with food, Lutz is in this for the long-haul…well kind of:
So far, Lutz has had a rough ride: He’s missed 17 meals, lost 14 pounds, taken an enema to avoid toxic shock, talked to a doctor who recommended a salt-water purge, given up exercise and is so tired he has resorted to napping during the day.
But unlike the Irish Republicans who died of starvation after hunger strikes protesting British rule in the 1980s, Lutz will only go so far. “I don’t want to die – going to a debate with Duncan Hunter is not important enough for me to die,” he told POLITICO on Tuesday.
He said he will fast until at least Friday, Aug. 20, when Hunter is scheduled to appear at the Politics in Paradise event hosted by the San Diego East County Chamber of Commerce. Lutz promises what he dubbed a “faceoff.”
“I had a ticket, and I’m not going to be able to eat the hors d’oeuvres,” Lutz said, reading from a ticket that promises heavy hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. “We’re going to have signs; we’re going to have protesters.”
Typical politician.

Clearly wasn’t on that flight, otherwise he would’ve grabbed a couple of beers before heading down the slide.

Ya these sound like the kind of people I want to represent me in making important decisions. I would want either of these nut-bars to decide how to salt my French fries let alone run the country.
